I was an EVO fan until P&G took over, but stuck with it even through the recalls. Finally switched to Orijen recently and now I'm especially glad I did with Mars taking over.

If you really like to feed premium food, recently Farmina from Italy was just introduced to North America. It is even superior to Champion products. I've never used a food this good until last week. Will not know how that translates to hunting accomplishments in the future, but it smells like a human cooked meal.

Non of the ingredients are even close to being GMO or the animals used in the products. 95 % of the protein in the food is from animal. The cost at least what I can buy is less expensive then Champion products and the ingredients are superior.

Interesting! So you are moving off Dr. Tims? I like what I read about their foods. Which one specifically are you using? Also I couldn't find the Protein/Fat %'s.

I switched my Sadie over to Blue Buffalo grain-free a few months ago and, although it really is expensive, she has responded very well to it up to this point. Those of you familiar with my girl and her history know how prone to allergies she is, but this brand seems to be working for us...lots of energy, hair growing back where it should, "happy," and acting like a two year old instead of 9-1/2! Having said all that, it'll probably all go to hell in a handbasket.

Farmina uses a very slow cooking method which makes it very digestible . Each kibble piece is crunched by your dog as the kibble is large like it was 30 years ago. They use vacuum infusion to add the Vitamins and Fats which draws it into the kibble piece rather then just spraying as American companies do, That is after cooking so the Vitamins are long lasting not being exposed to heat.

But the ingredient sourcing is what is attractive to me as a pet parent. North America has become almost entirely GMO in feeding of farm animals. I suspect that is why so many dogs and cats are sick today. Also all the Pet food companies are tricking everyone with Yeast Culture and Peas because they jump the protein level without meat inclusion.

Like I said, I am only into the food a week, but my boy goes nuts for this food. It does smell like a home cooked meal. Time will tell on how it helps performance and endurance. The company also has a staff of Veterinarians and Phd's as it is not a small company like a Champion who has none. Farmina is a big pet Food producer in Europe. If you want samples go to the USA Farmina Facebook page, or on those links and use the contact. The samples are large compared to what other companies give you.
